Speakers
Stuart is an experienced educator and academic who loves to tinker. He enjoys varied research interests broadly springing from his fascination with how humans use technology to solve problems. As Director of SIGNAL ICT Graduate School, he has first hand experience of building an environment supporting students to learn collaboratively in an applied context - and the powerful impact that this can create. This has led him to understand that the value of tertiary education does not lie predominantly in content but in the opportunity to interact and apply those learnings.
Martyn is an independent advisor, strategist and future thinker who has spent too much of his life in front of a screen. The only common threads of a varied 25 year career as a technology and management professional have been complementary obsessions for breaking new ground and hands on technology problem solving - in both senses of solving problems with tech. After a late realisation that it's actually all about people, he now spends his time trying to make things a little better for humans by helping organisations choose, plan, implement and manage technology and processes in better ways.
